DERBY County trail Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 at half-time in their Championship match at Molineux - despite the Rams having the better chances.
Kevin Doyle opened the scoring for the home side after 35 minutes.
Sylvan Ebanks-Blake smashed a shot against the crossbar in the 11th minute, after James O'Connor had failed to deal with Doyle's nod-down - but Derby responded well.
Conor Sammon's low shot was held by Karl Ikeme, who then tipped Jamie Ward's effort on to a post.
Ikeme parried Ward's vicious free kick but Roger Johnson got to the loose ball just before Sammon could pounce.
Johnson again came to the rescue, making a vital block after Craig Bryson had teed up Ward in the box.
However, the Rams went behind when David Edwards found Slawomir Peszko with his back to goal and he did well to feed Doyle, who finished from eight yards.
Back came Derby again and Sammon was denied by Ikeme after good work from Ward and Bryson.
Then, in added time at the end of the half, Ward's snapshot was charged down by Ronald Zubar.
